The purpose of this paper is to develop design scheme based on an easy-to-use meta-heuristic approach with superior reliability and validity for fixed-structure robust controllers, satisfying both multiple control specifications and system stability conditions. For this purpose, a particle swarm optimizer is first developed, which reduces the probability of premature convergence to local optima in the PSO (particle swarm optimization) by exploiting the particle’s local social learning based on the idea of cyclic-network topology. Next, it is shown how to obtain a fixed-structure robust controller with constraints on multiple H∞ specifications and system stability based on the developed PSO technique incorporated with a simple constraint handling method. Finally, typical numerical examples are studied to show the applicability of the proposed methodology to the synthesis of fixed-structure robust controllers. These examples clearly verify that the developed design scheme gives a novel and powerful impetus with remarkable reliability to fixed-structure robust controller syntheses.
► Meta-heuristic-approach for the fixed-structure robust controller design is proposed.
► Particle swarm optimizer uses a cyclic-network-topology-based neighborhood structure.
► An influence of neighborhood size on the PSO’s precision and reliability is analyzed.
► A simple constraint handling method using a virtual objective function is adopted.
► Simulations verify the superior reliability and validity of the developed PSO method.
